Daniela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Daniela and I am a professional, high-energy nanny with 3 years of paid experience caring for children of all ages. While I enjoy working with all stages of childhood, I have a special heart for toddlers. I love their curiosity and find great joy in creating fun, educational activities that help them reach their milestones. As a native Spanish speaker, I take pride in introducing children to a second language through songs and play-most of my previous kiddos were counting in Spanish within weeks! My goal is to provide parents with total peace of mind, knowing their little ones are in a safe, patient, and nurturing environment. I am highly organized, pet-friendly, a non-smoker. I look forward to meeting your family!

Corrine $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families! My name is Corrine, and I’m 27 years old. I am new to Urban Sitter, but I’ve been caring for children of all ages for over 10 years. I babysat all throughout high school, college, and post college, and I was also an after school teacher during my 4 years in college. Babysitting has always been such a rewarding part of my life, and I love creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. I would describe myself as kind, patient, and reliable. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, picking up your kids from school/activities, or keeping kids entertained with games and crafts, I’m happy to jump in wherever I’m needed. I’m also available for evenings, weekends, or daytime care, depending on your family’s schedule. Along with childcare, I have lots of experience with pets, too! I grew up in a home full of animals (including four Labrador Retrievers all at once), and I currently help care for my parents puppy and an older lab. So if you have furry family members, I’ll treat them with just as much care and love. I’d love the chance to support your family and give you peace of mind knowing your kids are in good hands.

Adriana $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Adriana and I am an elementary school teacher on the Upper East Side. I just finished my 6th year of teaching and I have experience teaching 3rd-5th grade. My experience with working with children ages 4-14 dates back to when I was in high school when I taught dance classes at my dance studio. I also worked as a camp counselor at a 7 week sleep away camp in Maine for three summers during college. I love babysitting and tutoring kids between the ages of 4 and 14.

Caitlyn $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Union City, NJ

Hi! My name is Caitlyn , I am 22 years old, and I have recently moved to California from New York. My love for working with children started when I was around 8 years old when my mother opened her own preschool. Since she opened her school I spent as much time as I could there, helping every summer during summer camps, brainstorming new craft ideas, and helping her make sure each day was fun and exciting for the children. Through working with her for years I was able to get babysitting jobs for a variety of families. I used my knowledge of fun activities, crafts, and games from working at the preschool to make sure every time I was a sitter was a fun time for the kids. I have always loved the way children keep me on my toes and keep me curious about the world. I currently live in North Hollywood, I have a very flexible schedule, and have a car!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
